Cold Touch

May 30, 2011
Parrish revisits the eXtreme Investigations team introduced in 2010's Cold Sight, pulling readers in with a tense and gritty story that skillfully balances romance and action. Olivia Wainwright has the ability to see and hear a person's death by touching their remains. Inexplicably drawn to the site of a fire that revealed a child's skeleton, Olivia meets Savannah homicide detective Gabe Cooper, who's willing to put aside his skepticism of her psychic powers if she can help him find the child's killer. Parrish doesn't do things by halves: the chemistry is hot, the bad guy is truly evil, and the paranormal aspects are dark and haunting. Her full commitment to both romance and suspense heightens the impact and sweeps the reader along the twisty path to a satisfying climax.
